Imagine if your computer worked only two days of every three, or that your car started two mornings and then took a “day off” for the third day. Imagine a PowerPoint presentation where every third slide was missing. . .

This is the condition of the Democratic Party in the United States.

The Democratic Party is EXCLUDING the one in three Democrats in our country who are Pro-Life. This practice alienates 21 million Democrats from the party we support. Consequently in the last three election cycles, the Democratic Party has:

LOST 69 House of Representative seats;

LOST 13 Senate seats;

LOST 912 State Legislature seats;

LOST 30 State legislative chambers; and

LOST 12 Governorships.

We're losing Middle America, and it's all going red!

Republican legislators too often claim to be pro-life but continue to vote AGAINST legislation vital to the support of pregnant women and families including voting down the Violence Against Women Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (equal pay for equal work), and the Affordable Care Act .

Currently, we have fewer Democrats in elected office than at any time since the Hoover Administration.

Winning back pro-lifers does not mean the start of a culture war — our Democratic Party is uniquely positioned to appeal to pro-lifers on a broad range of issues from abortion to the environment, to healthcare, to strengthening the social safety net for all Americans.We MUST support courageous pro-life Democratic officials in state offices around the country as well as in Congress. I hope you will join me in this critical year for Pro-Life Democrats.

Sincerely,

Janet Robert Board President Democrats for Life of America

**Imagine: if every pro-life Democrat in the US contributed just a dollar to this important work, we’d have $21 million to advance pro-life initiatives in the Democratic Party.
